The glasses of death
We have seen a lot of movies where a person make a turning point in the way they live after finding out their time on earth was limited.
I mean everyone will die one day. Everyone’s days are numbered. The difference is, how much numbers are left?
Once we see that death is upon us, life seems so simple. We started ignoring the talk of others, we stand by action speaks louder than words, we also stand by the fact that words do have their own power. We started doing things we never thought we will do once in our life, we also started doing things we always wanted to do. We start to care, say I love you to the people who need to hear it. Something small that seems to irritate us now seems trivial. We forgive the people who hurt us, not for the sake of them, for the sake of ourselves.
We finally started to live. We started to live our lives the way we were supposed to, for the reason that we know we only have this chance once. Because one day, we will no longer be here and will be buried deep down and cease to exist. All that is left of us are the memories. We sure want to leave a good one.
Putting on the glasses of death and living through its view might sounds a little bit insane but it is a good way to not waste this life away.
